I am currently reading Graves' Belisarius which is packed with military tactics and strategy but my biggest gripe (and one the new John Julius Norwich introduction warned me about) is that Belisarius is too good (not as a general but as a person). Still, a novel packed with late eastern detail whcih captures the mood of the time very well.
